Definitions

  • the present invention is for an LED display module and, more particularly, an LED display module preferably incorporated into use with a connector framework such as featured in patent application Ser. No. 11/271,404 filed Nov. 10, 2005 entitled “Stackable Electronic Sign System And Mounting Structures Therefor,” by the inventor(s).
  • Prior art LED display modules often incorporated an arrangement of a plurality of different colored LEDs, such as RGB colors, incorporated into a single structure where such an arrangement is known as an LED package.
  • Multiple LED packages such as four LED packages, were then combined in a spaced square arrangement and viewed through a single louver viewing port being slightly larger than the arrangement of the four LED packages.
  • a smaller LED package could be observed through a single and smaller louver viewing port.
  • a large visible white area of the LED package sides surrounding the LED packages adversely affects the contrast of the display, especially when viewed from the side and viewability was deemed unacceptable due to the presence of a “halo” effect resulting in viewing and module uniformity inconsistency.
  • the present invention provides a smaller LED package viewable through reduced size single louver view ports and through co-located individual overmold cavity view ports, wherein the visible white area around the edge of an LED is significantly reduced by one-to-one correlation of a single view port to a single overmold cavity view port. Contrast and viewability is enhanced by the use of a support grid having a dark color, such as black, for purposes of example and illustration.
  • the present invention overcomes the inadequacies of the prior art by the use of a panel which is overmolded to and in close association with a louver panel.
  • the side panels of the louver panel form a peripheral lip which wraps around and mostly contains the LED printed circuit board and other closely related components to snappingly engage a peripheral lip of a rearwardly located frame.
  • the overmold panel engages and seals to the front surface of the LED printed circuit board in close proximity to the sides of the LED packages.
  • Another ventilation method of cooling electronic display systems is the use of an air conditioning system which is expensive, takes extra installation time, requires more electrical energy to operate, and is noisy.
  • Another ventilation method of cooling electronic display systems is using axial driven fans which are not compact, which are noisy, which produce low pressure, which have a low CFM rating, and which require a large opening.
  • Other ventilation systems regardless of the type of cooling source, do not have structure on the inside of the panel to force the air over a greater surface area of the panel.
  • the present invention provides heat dissipation structure which evenly cools the LED display module by the use of a thermal conductive pad, a heat distribution plate and heat sinks associatively incorporated to draw and expel heat therefrom.
  • the present invention provides for ventilation by the use of an internally located centrifugal air pump to forcibly extract heat off the non-viewed side of the LED display assemblies including the heat sinks and associated components in an even and effective manner.
  • Electronic display modules can emit a significant amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI), whereby significant amounts of electromagnetic radiation transmitted from such electronic devices may cause problems such as interference with surrounding electrical devices, such as radios, televisions, cell phones, electronic medical devices and the like, as well as possibly being in violation of FCC regulations for electromagnetic radiations.
  • EMI electromagnetic interference
  • the present invention provides structure to contain, reduce and suppress any internally generated EMI.
  • One structure is in the form of an electrically grounded rear cover made of a type of plastic having EMI inhibiting qualities which contains, reduces and suppresses EMI.
  • the electrically conductive surfaces within the rear cover are connected to earth ground via a power connection to the LED display assemblies.
  • Other structures such as, but not limited to, a frame and a louver panel are also constructed of plastic having EMI inhibiting qualities.
  • the rear support panel and other such structures can be protected with an EMI inhibiting paint or the rear cover and other referenced structures can be expensively fashioned of conductive metal to contain, reduce and suppress any internally generated EMI.
  • metal is much heavier than plastic making installation and transportation more difficult. Unlike plastic, metals cannot be as easily formed or molded to various shapes typically beyond block designs and simple radius designs, thereby making the use of components comprising an electronic LED display module having plastic EMI inhibiting qualities a preferred structure.
  • the present invention provides for EMI protection at any such openings where grounded mesh-like metal screen or EMI material protective screens are placed at the air intake enclosure and centrifugal air pump enclosure to block electromagnetic noise from escaping.
  • gaskets having anti-EMI qualities can be used at multiple component contact locations in order to prevent electromagnetic noise from escaping through these areas.
  • the general purpose of the present invention is to provide an LED display module having features for improvement over prior art devices by offering novel features for improved visibility of the LEDs, improved weather and climatological sealing, improved EMI (electromagnetic interference) suppression, improved heat dissipation and improved airflow.
  • the LED display module of the present invention includes multiple LED display assemblies having a rear cover secured to the back side thereof.
  • the LED display module features a plastic louver panel preferably of a dark color having a layer of overmold material such as a thermoplastic elastomer for weather sealing against an LED printed circuit board in close association about individual LED packages.
  • Louver panel view ports having a continuous angled surface and a continuous sub-lip are located along and about a support grid of the louver panel. The visible white area around an LED is significantly reduced by the use of the individual sub-lips, thereby increasing the contrast and improving viewability of the LED packages.
  • a peripheral lip of the louver panel having molded latches wraps around the edges of the LED printed circuit boards and other components and snaps over, about and onto the peripheral lip of a frame having molded-in catches, and further sealed by application of a suitable sealing material at the louver panel frame splice seam.
  • the frame which is preferably made of plastic having EMI protective material, encases, houses and surrounds the LED printed circuit board, as well as surrounding a thermal conductive pad and a heat distribution plate.
  • the frame has an open front, four solid perimeter sides, a peripheral lip and a back that has a structure to allow for rigidity while having openings allowing electronics from the LED printed circuit board and heat sinks to pass through.
  • the plastic louver panel with the overmold panel is substantially a unitary structure, but shown herein as separate structures for the purpose of clarity.
  • the overmold panel provides a plurality of single overmold cavity viewing ports.
  • the planar portion of the overmold panel seals against the LED printed circuit board.
  • the overmold cavity viewing ports align in close proximity to and about individual LED packages.
  • a dedicated heat dissipation structure evenly cools the electronic LED display module.
  • Three static components are used to draw and expel heat from the modules.
  • a thermal conductive pad that is not electrically conductive is placed directly on the rear surface of the LED printed circuit board.
  • a heat distribution plate is preferably made of electrically conductive aluminum and is placed over the thermal conductive pad. The combination of the thermal conductive pad and heat distribution plate help dissipate heat from the LED printed circuit board and evenly distribute the heat across the whole volume of the LED display module.
  • heat sinks are secured on the rear of the heat distribution plate to increase the surface area and expedite heat dissipation.
  • the invention uses a centrifugal air pump to provide cooling air in and out of the LED display module.
  • the air is pulled through and along the interior of the rear cover on a given path to flow over as much surface area of the back of the upper and lower LED display assemblies and along and about the components of the rear cover of the LED display module as possible.
  • the air is forced in a circuitous path because panels in the panel cover extend preferably perpendicularly and forwardly from the interior surface of the rear cover to the rear surface of the rear cover, thus preventing the cooling air from being drawn in through the air intake enclosure inlet and then directly to the centrifugal air pump intake without properly entraining and removing heat residing along the entire interior of the LED display module.
  • the rear cover includes integral portions consisting of a rear support panel, a rear enclosure panel, an air intake enclosure, and a centrifugal air pump enclosure which are closely associated with and in close proximity to the rear of the LED display assemblies.
  • the rear cover provides EMI protection in one of two main ways.
  • the plastic comprising the rear cover can be made of an EMI protective material or, in the alternative, the plastic rear cover can be painted with EMI protective paint.
  • EMI protection may also be provided in the form of screens located in the centrifugal air pump enclosure and in the air intake enclosure.
  • gaskets which can have EMI protection qualities can also be incorporated at multiple locations where the structures mate.
  • an LED display module including a louver panel with an overmold panel of thermoplastic elastomer material, LED display assemblies, a frame containing EMI protective material which accommodates and is used for mounting of an LED printed circuit board, a heat distribution plate, a heat distribution plate and a thermal conductive pad, a plurality of heat sinks secured to the back of the heat distribution plate, multiple sealing gaskets having EMI protective material, a one-piece rear cover containing EMI protective material including a support panel, an enclosure panel, an air intake enclosure, a centrifugal air pump enclosure, a centrifugal air pump, an LED display module latching system, as well as numerous other components.
